Earth's atmosphere is composed of about78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and one percent other gases. These gases are found in layers (troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere) defined by unique features such as temperature and pressure. Is nitrogen good for the human body? 1...
they sent the Luna-25 lander to the lunar south pole on a year-long mission. Its first goal was to study the composition of the lunar regolith. Its second was to “study the plasma and dust components of the lunar polar exosphere,”according to NASA. Despite being decades in the making...
Divided into five major layers — the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere — this great shield protects us from excess UV radiation. At the same time, it lets Earth keep a habitable temperature while destroying most of the space debris that comes our way. For some...
Exosphere Extends beyond the Thermosphere hundreds of kilometers, gradually fading into interstellar space. Density of the air is so low that the normal concept of temperature loses its meaning. Molecules often escape into space after colliding with one another. ...
